Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 808 When the West is dark, the East is bright.

The incubation of IP ecosystems, the pursuit of excellence in film and television works, the initial formation of cultural and creative industries, the improvement of game platforms, the poised development of the e-sports environment, and continuous scientific research efforts.
Various signs are already emerging:

Black Myth: Wukong has already amazed the industry with just a small test of the Tiangong game engine;
Douyin's intelligent recommendation algorithm continues to lead the industry;
The fact that Beyond can still produce hit games even without his intervention proves that Beyond's game production industrialization system is becoming increasingly mature.

IP derivatives have driven the rise of cultural and creative industries. The G-Home platform's game market is all-encompassing, and WeChat Pay, official accounts, and mini-programs are flourishing in multiple areas.
Each and every one of these achievements is the crystallization of wisdom accumulated over many years, and the best proof that its distinctive development model has taken root, blossomed, and borne fruit in various fields.

From long, medium, and short videos to Q&A platforms, from search engines to social media platforms, the Beyond series of products have basically covered all internet traffic entrances, except for e-commerce where they are slightly inferior.

Frankly speaking, nowadays, even if the other side developed a Tetris game, it could instantly top the sales charts on major app stores.

This is why major internet companies are desperately trying to gain a foothold in the early days of the mobile internet era.

The landscape of China's internet industry is gradually becoming clearer, and Beyond Group's reach has extended to nearly half of the internet business sectors, all of which are highly promising tracks.

Even if there are some shortcomings in other areas such as e-commerce and retail, they are supplemented by member companies of the Biyan Group, in addition to overt or covert cooperation with Baidu and Tencent.

There's a growing voice online calling Chen Mo the "godfather of the Chinese internet," which isn't an exaggeration.

Today, the number of employees of Beyond Group worldwide has exceeded 100,000. If we include the various subsidiaries of Beyond Group, plus the employees of ride-hailing drivers, food delivery riders, and nearly a thousand invested companies in various industries, we can see that the total number of employees is even greater.

The livelihoods of those on the other side are not just dependent on a million canal workers, but rather on a scale of tens of millions.
This represents a tremendous potential force that cannot be ignored at any level.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if he were sold to northern Myanmar now, it would not be Chen Mo who would ultimately be eliminated.

A stable environment, where stability is paramount, sometimes becomes his protective shield.

A typical case that occurred last year can also prove this point from another angle. The original plan for Beijing Metro Line 16 did not include the Bi'an Station. Now, it not only has one, but it is also less than 200 meters away from the gate of Bi'an Science and Technology Park, which shows the special importance that the local government attaches to Bi'an.

This gave Chen Mo the courage and confidence to do it.

However, this potential energy also has its limits, as evidenced by the fact that last year's proposals at the Two Sessions were ignored.

After the meeting, Chen Mo completed the most important agenda item of the year.

But when he stretched, he felt not relief, but a heavier responsibility.

Back in his office, he synced the "Going Ashore Plan" to the email addresses of other member companies and allies of the Other Shore Group, leaving a message: "For reference!"

Chen Mo then sent the plan to Li Yining, but hesitated for a moment before clicking send. He then clicked the left mouse button and called to inform him.

On the other end of the phone.

After hanging up, Li Yining immediately had his apprentice print out the plan.

Wearing his reading glasses, he frequently nodded as he reviewed the documents, his satisfaction evident in his expression.

I felt a little unsatisfied after watching half of it.

"Go get my bottle of wine."

"Master, the doctor strictly forbids you from drinking alcohol."

"Just a small bite," this economics giant bargained like a child.

"Then I'll have to ask my teacher's wife to come over."

Li Yining stared for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Traitor!" He could only smack his lips and look again.

They looked at it for a long time.

He had no appetite at dinner and was still deep in thought during his walk.

Back in his study, when his gaze fell upon the yellowed old photographs on the bookshelf, he finally made up his mind.

Although he is currently an honorary advisor to the Tianji Pavilion of the Bi'an Group, he is also a member of the national economic think tank.

Since Xiao Mo was able to share this final plan with him, he probably already considered this aspect.

Chen Mo knew he would do this, and he also knew Chen Mo knew he would do this.
Since I have already dedicated myself to the country, what is there left to worry about?

His generation has come this far through repeated reforms and struggles, and their hearts are filled with a deep sense of patriotism. Even if they have disagreements with their peers, it's mostly about different paths and ideologies, but their starting points are all good. Unlike some younger generations who only know how to rest on their laurels and enjoy the fruits of their labor, taking it all for granted, eating and drinking well while smacking their lips – it's simply outrageous.

So when he was giving lectures to those leaders, he saw Chen Mo and heard some of his fresh views and opinions, which left a deep impression on him.

Later, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he possessed the kind of idealism and sentiment that his generation had once had.

After years of observation, although he doesn't know why Chen Mo possesses this quality, he is willing to speak out for him!
Thinking of this, Li Yining said to his disciple, "Help me find the 'Pilot Enterprise Cost-Benefit Analysis Table' and the 'Labor Market Survey Reports' for the past five years."

The middle-aged man, who had spent many years with the teacher, clearly knew what the teacher was going to do. "Teacher, I will prepare all the materials today, but it's too late now. Why don't you do it tomorrow?"

"You won't let me drink? You won't let me write? Tomorrow, I'm not like you, I don't have that many tomorrows. For me, time is life!"
Go get to work, huh?

"Okay, teacher!" The middle-aged man sighed inwardly and began to do his work.

Li Yining sat at his desk, pondered for a moment, and began to draft his thoughts. A few minutes later, he picked up his pen and sat down at the desk.

Internal Reference Report: Suggestions for Pilot Economic Reforms (No. 1, 2017)
Topic: Labor Compliance Reform and Market Economy Efficiency Improvement Path Based on the "Going Ashore Plan"
Submitted to: All members of the GWY Development Research Center/Economic Think Tank

Drafted by: Li Yining
I. Background and Theoretical Basis of the Reform
Market failure and institutional correction: The current macroeconomic situation is good and stable, but there are significant hidden dangers in the labor market, namely, that enterprises are illegally reducing labor costs, resulting in the bad driving out the good.

While this approach may generate substantial profits in the short term, it weakens the competitiveness of compliant companies. Over a longer period, historical data shows that the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
II. Recommendations for the Beyond Group's "Onshore Plan"
Organizational Structure: A Labor Compliance Financial Instruments Department could be added (to jointly develop 'SME Compliance Credit Loans' with WeChat Pay and the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission).
Pilot program approach: Add control groups for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta to verify the impact of regional economic differences.
Incentive measures: Policy support, including the introduction of tiered VAT reductions to lower the burden on small and medium-sized enterprises.
Monitoring system: Enterprise self-inspection combined with supervision from other regions, and a national enterprise credit information disclosure system can be established in the future.
III. Risk Control and Policy Toolkit
IV. Periodic Evaluation Indicators
The "Going Ashore Plan" proposed by Beyond Group is essentially about reconstructing market signals through increased information transparency.

A few days later, the report sparked some discussion.

One morning in late February, the old man stared at the document signed by his teacher, his brow furrowed.

From a personal perspective, he is supportive.

That young man from the Beyond Group is indeed extraordinary: he has a forward-looking strategic vision, excellent execution ability, flexible and adaptable handling methods, a broad mind and vision, and what is even more rare is his firm idealistic belief.

I heard that the Labor Law is prominently displayed in the center of the main lobby of the Bi'an Group's building, which is quite an unusual attempt.

The old man took out several documents from the bottom of the drawer; they were all signed by the same person.

The first two reports are highly insightful warnings: one is "Suggestions from Beyond Group on Regulating Risk Management in the Internet Finance (P2P) Industry"; the other is "An Emergency Prediction on the Potential Systemic Risks of 'Pseudo-Financial Innovation' by Some Technology Companies".

The rest are proposals from the past two years: "Proposal on Establishing a Credit Blacklist System" and "Suggestion on Raising the Upper Limit of Administrative Penalties under the Labor Law".
With the abundance of information resources he possessed, far surpassing that of the young Chen Mo, the latter's judgments on things always hit the nail on the head, a level of acumen that truly astonished him.

Not to mention its previous achievements: cloud computing deployment, promotion of the game industry, cultural export strategy, and foreign exchange earnings.
In terms of creating tens of millions of jobs, the billions of dollars in profits and taxes paid by the other side each year are actually the least significant contribution.

Of course, the other side is not without its flaws: for example, there are tendencies toward monopolies in certain areas, a delicate balance in media regulation, and somewhat aggressive business competition strategies.
He was even fully aware of Chen Mo's interactions with the younger generations of some people.

However, Chen Mo's various actions, whether it was those two warning proposals, his political statements in public, leading the senior management team to visit revolutionary sites, or even his recent move to organize the management team to study "Selected Works of Mao Zedong", are all examples of his actions.

All of this demonstrates one attitude: our hearts are turned towards the sun.

Actually, he shouldn't have known, but given his level of influence, it was difficult not to know if he showed even a slight interest.

But he could only pretend he didn't know.

From the national perspective, the other side is like a top student with excellent grades, always delivering satisfactory results in every exam. Minor flaws are seen by teachers as minor imperfections, minor things that are overlooked.

After carefully reading the document, the old man understood that his teacher was taking precautions.

As stated at the end of the document:

"This move benefits the country and its people; it is a precautionary measure. We hope you will consider it."

He wholeheartedly agreed, believing that using the other side as a pilot for reform and observing the boundaries of its independent development was a sound strategy.

He who does not plan for the long term is not fit to plan for the short term.

The future is not optimistic.

He often felt worried about this.
